Yesterday marked a new day for us since we’ve been working with Spline on our projects for quite some time now. Following the news shared with the community on Webflow Conf, it’ll be easier and even more exciting to add value to our partners’ businesses with Spline!

In a landscape where the lines between web design and dynamic digital experiences continually blur, Webflow has again positioned itself at the forefront of this evolution. At yesterday's Webflow Conf, a significant announcement was made that will undoubtedly excite designers and developers across the globe: Webflow is integrating with Spline.

Bringing 3D to Webflow with Spline

For those unfamiliar with it, Spline is a web-based 3D design software. It enables designers to craft immersive 3D experiences without the typical complexity or steep learning curves. The announcement signals that Webflow users can soon embed these interactive 3D designs directly within their projects.

But the excitement doesn't stop there. What truly makes this integration a game-changer is the ability to control Spline's 3D designs using Webflow interactions. This means that beyond just embedding a static 3D design, users can make these designs come alive, responding to user actions, scrolls, clicks, and more.

Imagine a 3D product showcase that rotates or zooms based on user behaviour or a dynamic 3D background that evolves as one navigates through a site. The possibilities are boundless, and the promise of creating more engaging, interactive, and innovative web experiences is now a tangible reality.

Effortless 3D Interactivity for Your Websites

The world of web design is continually evolving, and the demand for interactive, dynamic content has never been higher. With most businesses and content creators striving to make their online platforms more engaging, introducing 3D interactive elements has become increasingly desirable. Enter Webflow's Spline Embed—a breakthrough feature that promises to revolutionize your web designing experience.

Integrating 3D content into websites traditionally required a fair amount of coding knowledge, which could daunt many designers. With the new Spline Embed feature in Webflow, those days are a thing of the past. Now, one can seamlessly add interactive 3D content to their websites without touching a single line of code.

Mastering Interactions Directly in Webflow

The most exciting aspect of the Spline Embed integration is the vast control it affords designers over their 3D content. While the Spline software is already intuitive, this Webflow integration takes user experience to the next level.

You're not just embedding a static 3D model onto your site but integrating an interactive 3D scene. In real-time, you can manipulate various aspects of your Spline scene using Webflow’s established Events system—like click, hover, mouse position, and scroll. Whether you want an object to rotate when hovered over, zoom in on a click, or move based on mouse positioning, it's all possible and incredibly straightforward.

The flexibility doesn't end there. Designers can also adjust the position, rotation, and scale of the Spline objects directly within Webflow. This feature ensures that the 3D content is not only interactive but also perfectly tailored to fit the aesthetic and functionality of the website.

Conclusion

Webflow's integration with Spline Embed is a testament to the platform's commitment to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in web design. As designers, the ability to create immersive, interactive 3D experiences without the complexities of coding is a game-changer. The digital landscape is set to become richer, more dynamic, and, most importantly, more engaging for users worldwide.

Webflow Conf has always been a hotbed for innovative announcements, and this year was no exception. With the Spline integration, Webflow is bridging the gap between conventional web design and intricate 3D digital experiences. As we eagerly await the rollout of these features, one thing is certain: the future of web design, with Webflow at the helm, looks incredibly bright and undoubtedly more immersive.
